Academics[edit]
Nearly half of Southwest's class of 2012 attended accredited four-year colleges (49%).[1] The school offered 14 Advanced Placement courses in 2007, with 220 AP tests taken in May 2007.[1] Overall, 31% of students participated in AP Exams in 2016[4]. Southwest has partnered with NWTC to provide a number of Technical classes at the High School.[5] Southwest High School was ranked #13 in Wisconsin as the best overall school by Newsweek 2013. The school made the Top 20 four years running. A collaboration with NWTC in 2012 to provide credited courses in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) provides students hands on coursework in blueprint reading; welding; and robotics. Additionally, Southwest offers 60 co-curricular activities and a Music Department which has grown substantially this past decade. In 2013, the musical production of Hairspray had two sold out showings with a total attendance of more than 3,000 people. The department is a magnet for students from neighboring schools and school districts.
Sports[edit]
The football stadium and track and field area is named Dahlin Family Stadium. It was renovated in 2014 to add synthetic turf[6]. Carl Sunby Gymnasium, named after a former athletic director[7], has a capacity of 2000[8] and is often used as a neutral site for WIAA basketball playoff sectionals. Additionally, Southwest has tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and an indoor swimming pool.
